...it makes for a nice, MINI-perfect photo op.
I remember oldsbear posting a pic of their trip down it several years ago.
Some interesting historical info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_Alley

(I've never done this before, Hope it works!)

Its been too quite in this chatroom so I thought I'd stir up the pot with this question:
How fast is the Road Runner from Looney Tunes? I'm looking for an actual mph not "Super-sonicus Indredulous" etc.
And also,
Since March I've been compiling a list I call "Movies with MINI's".
The MINI just needs to appear somewhere in the movie.
Judy Moody & The not so Bummer Summer / Marmaduke / Cars 2 / Hard Candy / Italian Job (new&old ofcourse) / Austin Powers 3 / Spanglish / Air Guitar Nation / The Seeker / Hereafter / The Bourne Identity / Company Men / Hall Pass / Jumping the Broom / Limitless.
So, if you need something to do try renting one of these and spot the MINI. Some are obvious others not so much. Please add to the list if you can.

It is claimed that Chuck Jones and the artists behind the Road Runner and Wile E. cartoons adhered to some simple but strict rules:
- The Road Runner cannot harm the Coyote except by going "meep, meep."
- No outside force can harm the Coyote—only his own ineptitude or the failure of Acme products. Trains and trucks were the exception from time to time.
- The Coyote could stop anytime—IF he were not a fanatic. (Repeat: "A fanatic is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim." —George Santayana).
- No dialogue ever, except "meep, meep" and yowling in pain.
- The Road Runner must stay on the road—for no other reason than that he's a roadrunner.
- All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters—the southwest American desert.
- All tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from the Acme Corporation.
- Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote's greatest enemy.
- The Coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures.
- The audience's sympathy must remain with the Coyote.
- The Coyote is not allowed to catch or eat the Road Runner.

Nice wrap-up article on MITM 2011 by our friend Chuck over at MINI5280:

I think it would be really cool to rally a large group of EIMers for this event in 2012.

Lately I've been hearing a "fluid" type sound when I take off in 1st gear. It sounds just like liquid moving through a pipe or hose and its coming from the engine's passenger side.
I've checked the engine bay and can't see any signs of spraying or wetness. Is any one else experiencing this?
